KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 So now I'm looking at the actual list, as compared to just the cc.com spray excerpt. - Nice to see Martin Barre get a nod, Aqualung was a guitar hero of an album - Funny that Neil Young doesn't make an appearance until #39 for Cortez The Killer. While hardly the most technical fellow, his lines and sound are so signature and lyrical, you can't mistake him for anyone else. I'd plug Like A Hurricane or Tonight's the Night ahead of this cut, if only because the lyrics are so hysterically historically inaccurate. - Steve Howe, there's a prog rock trouper I've forgotten about, good song though as far as my mysteriously fuzzed out memory recalls - Clapton is the most overrated player on the planet. Consider the signature solo pieces on his best song Layla are by Allman on slide and whatever that guy was on piano, his most popular pieces Cocaine and I Shot The Sheriff are covers, and most of Mr Slowhand's work is readily replicated by third rate wannabes at blues jams across the country - Not necessarily the Hendrix cuts I'd have picked, but there's ample homage to the man, as with Stevie Ray. - Surfing with the Alien should get higher marks, it's such a propulsive lyrical line, speaks volumes with nary a word in sight. - Is Metallica really all that and a bag of nuts? I've always thought they were sort of boring, but Kirk Hammet sure gets a frisky BJ out of this list. I look at the solos from a player's perspective, and yes, for me Metallica has some really good shit because it is memorable to listen to and fun to play. I prefer the melodic stuff to pure technical shredding. I agree on the Surfing with the Alien, although my favorite songs to play are "Crushing Day" and "Midnight". Midnight is simply a masterpiece.

Off_White Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Yeah, as you're thinking you need to listen to Wired again, I'm thinking I need to re-listen to that whole Alien disc, as tasty an instrumental rock album as I've ever heard. Quote

RuMR Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 just pulled my head out of ass last week. Oh MY!...be sure to wipe your eyes off... Quote
Off_White Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Sorry old man (though I don't think you're any older than me), but Pink's in the right this time. Those guys rock, and the recent reunion tour was not the least bit lame. Quote
RuMR Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 i was not referencing his musical knowledge...just pink in general... Quote
Fairweather Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Led Zep gets a couple of nods, but my favorite JP guitar is the acoustic start of "Over The Hills and Far Away" - I swear he's picking and playing the chords simultaneously. Quote

kevbone Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 WTF.. smells like teen spirit is such a lame solo, my 9 year old brother can play it and he finds basic power chords hard!?! I could not agree more....I love Nirvana, but Kirt Go-bang is not known for his soloing. Quote
Noodle Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Two in the top fifty that I really like are: Whole Lotta Love (Zeppelin) - This sucker is just raw For the Love of God (Steve Vai) - The best, most emotional electric guitar instrumental I've ever heard. Check it, it'll send shivers up your spine. 5NfZBvRvkIg s8rEn8mFWBw Quote
